Re-examining the UGC Career Advancement Scheme: Policy, Practice, and Pitfalls in Higher Education of Arunachal Pradesh

Author(s) Mr. Tony Jamoh
Country India
Abstract Abstract
The University Grants Commission’s Career Advancement Scheme (CAS) was envisioned as a structured pathway to promote academic excellence and ensure equitable professional progression among faculty in Indian higher education institutions. While the scheme has undergone several revisions to enhance fairness and accountability, its on-ground implementation—particularly in frontier regions such as Arunachal Pradesh—reveals deep-seated procedural, ethical, and psychological challenges.
This paper critically re-examines the CAS policy through the lens of regional disparities, highlighting how bureaucratic inertia, shifting regulatory interpretations, and a narrow focus on quantifiable academic metrics have diluted the scheme’s original intent. Drawing upon qualitative insights from faculty interviews, RTI data, and institutional records, the study exposes gaps between policy and practice. It also underscores the marginalization of teaching ethics, mentoring, and classroom engagement in favor of score-oriented academic outputs.
The findings call for a recalibration of the CAS framework to restore its foundational ethos—equity, empowerment, and academic integrity—by recommending digital transparency tools, ethical sensitization, and a balance between qualitative and quantitative assessment metrics.
